Use of FREQ in Bilingual Corpora

[Danielle Hu]

Hi all,

I'm doing some CLAN analyses for my Master's thesis, and maybe I'm missing
it in the manual trying to teach myself how to do this, but I'm struggling
to code the analyses I want. For context, I am trying to count the number
of parent/caregiver utterances in a transcript that are in each language,
and of those utterances, which are related to a postcode that says whether
the utterance was related to directly reading from the story provided, or
extratextual speech (e.g., questioning, commenting about the story, etc.).
I am analyzing this to determine whether changing the order of language
presentation in a bilingual book impacts caregiver language use in Tagalog
and English.

I've processed the following command to get a frequency of the number of
caregiver utterances that are marked as English and Tagalog: *freq +l1
+t*CAR +s"<- eng>" +s"<- tgl>" +d2 *.cha*

I want to do the following things:

   - Exclude utterances that have code switching. I have attempted
*freq +l1 +t*CAR +s"<-
   eng> -s"@s:tgl" +d2 *.cha*, but this does not work. It outputs the same
   number of English utterances as the first command.
   - Identify utterances that have both a precode of [- eng] and a postcode
   of [+ b] (book) or [+ e] (extra-textual), and vice versa for [- tgl]
   - Of code-switched utterances, which ones are related to the postcode of
   [+ b] or [+ e]

I hope that's a clear explanation of what I'm looking for! If CLAN doesn't
have a way to do this, that's also okay, but wanted to check with everyone
to make sure that it wasn't a possibility before I start manually counting
things. Luckily, it's only for 6 participants. Thanks in advance!

All the best,
Danielle Hu
